Are these statements correct, if not could you give me an example

1. If solution of IVP is non-unique then there are infinitely many solutions
in short, if the solution to the IVP has at least 2 solutions then there are infinitely many solutions to this IVP

2.there are none IVP first order ODE's with finite solutions

for example there are no such IVP's that have only 2 or 3 solutions it must be either one or infinite

3. there is no first order linear ODE's that have more than 1 solution for each different initial conditions if the solution exists

Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
